How to assign user roles (e.g. reviewer/decider) in a workflow – no UI option?

[PujolPujol]

Hi REMS team,

I’m trying to assign specific users to roles like reviewer or decider in a workflow, but I don't see any option to do this via the web interface.
Is this expected behavior?

If role assignment is only possible via the API, could you please share an example of how to assign a role (e.g. reviewer) to a user when creating or editing a workflow?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,

Hi, Maybe there is a confusion here. The roles reviewer and decider are related to an application, not a workflow. Therefore, they can only be assigned as part of application processing by the handler user. This would be on the application screen and under the application API. The idea is that these may not be static, and a person may be included case by case. I can see there a possibility that certain organizations would like to keep a fixed set of deciders in the workflow, or even reviewers. There are also cases where the reviewer or decider is part of a team with a shared mailbox. However, these cases are not well supported at the moment. Hope this clears it up!

Thank you for the clarification!
So just to confirm, as of today, there’s no support for static reviewer/decider assignments in the workflow itself, and roles like reviewer must be assigned dynamically during application processing, either via the UI or the API (e.g. /request-review, /request-decision).
That clears it up, thank you!

Yes, as of today, you are correct.
